Roaming Extension Manager

[Instructor] It's not uncommon nowadays,…for a developer to work on multiple computers.…You might have a desktop computer at work,…and then you have a laptop…that you use occasionally out of the office.…If you have Visual Studio installed…on both of those computers,…you now have the issue of making sure…that your developer setting is synced…across those devices.…Now Microsoft already does a lot of that syncing…with some of the tools in Visual Studio.…Today we're going to look at a new feature…that's part of the extensions dialogue.…The idea is that you've installed some extensions…on one of your developer boxes,…and when you open up the other copy of Visual Studio…on the other computer,…you want to have the same extensions.…

So you can use this tool called…the Roaming Extension Manager.…This shows all of the roamed files.…To use this feature, you have to be logged in…to Visual Studio,…and you see that I'm logged in here.…So what I can do is see all of the roaming extensions…that are installed on this copy of Visual Studio.…
